what about a thread with close-ups of all the roundels in the world – regardless of the plane/helo that wears them?
How long before the Tornado GR4s have sponsorship and advertising logos painted on them?
Just make sure those logos are painted in low-visibility style :p
Here are two rather well armed F-5 Tigers from the FACH site and a rarely seen East-European bird: Romania’s IAR-93 with a seizable array of unguided weapons…
PS. Dude, where did you get those pictures?
Bangladesh AF – myaviation.net (4pics) and some chinese photo site – http://pic.top81.cn/
Chinese one – top81.cn
Zimbabwe and Iraqi are from older threads on this forum
Thanks for the info – I never realized those were lengthened variants
The latest F-7G has only one 30 mm gun on the right side.
Most FT-7s that I’ve seen don’t have the GSh-23 copy, see below:
…
tbzz, the first MiG-21 pics in posts #89 and #93 wouldn’t happen to be the famous one with wich Munir Redfa defected to Israel in august 1966? – the later famous IAF bort 007?
I dont see why they dont turn the Berkut and Mig 1.4 into flying aircraft!
Because their designs are not stealthy (enough).
tbzz, what’s the missile in the double launcher below the Mi-2 pylons? AT-6?
and what caliber is the gun on the left side of the helo?
thanks
The Russian military leaders stay witnesses only?
they are struggling to put Su-34 into service, which is more or less the equivalent of the F-15E.
Russia has yet to fly a prototype of a F-22 equivalent (while the Raptor is already into service, some 50+ series machines built).
Considering all these, we won’t see in the short or medium term a Russian equivalent of the FB-22.
Just found some HUGE writings in China – what in the world is that?
Communist propaganda aimed at the aliens 😀 ?
Perhaps someone could read it and tell us what it says…
JH-7 – 2 PL-5 AAMs, 4 YJ-82K (C-802K) ASMs
EDIT: it’s just an JH-7, not the improved JH-7A (which has 2 adittional wing pylons)
nothing strange about #17
yes, the dielectric coverings are different – has got something to do with the fact that they are complementary, maybe each one is for certain frequencies/band
2 more pics:
davek128, the F-104s were the gap (in terms of capabilities).
Evem from the early 90’s (1993?) AMI loaned 24 Tornado ADV from the UK, for a 10-year contract.
A follow-up on this contract would have been too expensive, so they loaned 34 ex-US Vipers.
No way F-104S/ASA/M are going back into service, even if there is still a gap in numbers, there are more and more Typhoons out there as the time goes by…
Two gorgeous Su-30MKK2 pics:
